I had only written CSS for the radio buttons and the check boxes.
The button apparently has a different font size and font (the 
browser's default, as opposed to the values I assigned to the check 
boxes and radio buttons). But if you give the button the same font 
size and font as the rest of the form elements, they will scale 
uniformly (at least in Internet Explorer 6, Firefox 1.5, Firefox 2.0, 
SeaMonkey 1.1 and Opera 9.02).

Best regards,

Christophe
